We are proud to announce that Black Vegans Rock is one of the 21 winners of the 2016 VegNews Bloggy Awards. This is a HUGE accomplishment considering we've only been around since January 2016. There were some blogs on the list that I've been following for years, so it's such an honor to be listed alongside them. We just want to say thank you to everyone who has voted for us!

"It’s 2016, and the ever-growing vegan landscape is changing at a rapid pace. With so much plant-based news breaking every day, we’re thankful for the myriad blogs keeping us up-to-date on the latest recipes, products, restaurants, and everything in between. But which are the best of the best? We wanted to know the vegan blogs you can’t live without, so we asked for your help in naming the best online destinations for all-things veg."

In addition to Black Vegans Rock, here are some other Black vegan winners:
